The larger these pores are, and the greater the volume they occupy in proportion to the volume of the rock mass, the greater will be the contained oil or gas supply, and this proportion in fairly good producing sands, usually varies between one-fifth and onetenth...

Its settlement requires some general knowledge of the business and some knowledge of the local field. The lessee may have a good well from which he can utilize the gas with profit. He may put down another on the same farm and thereby so reduce the -pressure in the first as wholly to destroy its value without getting a sufficient...

If no one of them has the requisite pressure, then no one of them can be utilized; the gas must be wasted, the cost of the wells will be lost, and the lessor entitled to no royalty.

For many years the gasoline fractions were practically a waste product during our quest for kerosene ; with the deveiopment of the internal-combustion engine the kerosene is now almost a waste product in our strenuous efforts to increase the yield of lighter distillates.
Página 9 - In burning gas for cooking three distinct steps are necessary: (a) The gas must be properly burned; that is, it must be properly mixed with air so as to burn with a pale blue non-luminous flame. A luminous flame will be wasteful and will deposit soot on the cooking vessel. (b) The flame must be properly directed, that is, the tip of the flame must come close to the cooking vessel. If the flame is too short to reach the cooking vessel, or is blown to one side by a strong draft of air, gas will be...

The Proceedings, the first volume of which was issued in 1878, are intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original, and usually brief, papers based on the collections of the National Museum, presenting newly-acquired facts in zoology, geology, and anthropology, including descriptions of new forms of animals, and revisions of limited groups.
